Sam Underhill to start second Test as Eddie Jones mulls Henry Arundell decision

Flanker Sam Underhill is set to start England’s crucial second Test against Australia with head coach Eddie Jones also considering throwing teenage speedster Henry Arundell into the fray in Brisbane.

After an underwhelming attacking performance in the first Test defeat, Jones may change up his back three with wing Joe Cokanasiga’s place under particular spotlight.

Jonny May was set to come into the equation after coming out of isolation from Covid-19 but is still not physically not 100 per cent and is undergoing a “graded return to full training”.

That could open the door for Arundell could come into the starting XV after his sensational debut last week, coming off the bench to score one try and create another.
